PREFACE. 

Among  a  number  of  early  deeds  and  other  papers  re- 
lating to  Plymouth  County,  Mass?ichusetts,  long  in  the 
possession  of  the  writer,  is  the  original  manuscript  of  the 
list  of  names  appearing  in  the  following  pages. 

The  list  is  headed  by  Major  Samuel  Thaxter,  Sergeant 
Thomas  Andrews  a-nd  Cornet  Samuel  Lincoln,   followed 
by  others  bearing  the  names  of  the  first  settlers  of  Hing 
ham  in  1636-1639. 

The  names  are  evidently  in  the  handwriting  of  Joshua 
Tucker,  one  of  the  Selectmen,  the  warrant  written  by 
James  Hawke,  Town  Clerk,  they  are  printed  as  they 
appear  in  the  manuscript. 

As  the  fate  of  old  records  is  more  or  less  uncertain  it 
has  been  thought  advisable  to  preserve  this  list  of  names 
in  printed  form  for  the  use  of  genealogists  and  others 
who  may  be  interested  in  the  inhabitants  of  Hingham  in 
the    year    171 i.
